What advice to expats in London have about housing?

Answer this Question

When we asked people living in London about the social scene there, they described it saying...

"1. Research the area you are interested in living in thoroughly before committing to a rental agreement. 2. Consider the cost of living in the area, including transportation, groceries, and other amenities. 3. Be aware of the different types of housing available, such as flats, houses, and apartments. 4. Make sure to read the tenancy agreement carefully before signing it. 5. Ask for references from previous landlords or tenants. 6. Be aware of the different types of tenancy agreements, such as assured shorthold tenancies and periodic tenancies. 7. Consider the safety of the area, including the crime rate and the quality of the local schools. 8. Be aware of the different types of fees associated with renting, such as deposits, agency fees, and utility bills. 9. Make sure to budget for the cost of moving, including packing materials, removal services, and storage. 10. Consider the proximity of the property to your workplace, public transportation, and other amenities," explained one expat living in London, England.
